Re: Werner and Victor Molders
1. Battle of France then and now is not word for word what is quoted in Braatz, including an ugly episode after he landed which is shortened extensively.
2. Further material presented in Braatz:
a. Werner never saw his assailant
b. other observers had only seen 109s in his neighborhood
c. there were strong suspicions back in 1940 (!) that it was friendly fire
d. Werner didn't care who shot him down
Either way, the material presented by Kurt Braatz makes it an interesting subject for further study for the Friendly Fire collection.
